If I was somewhere and saw you in that outfit, I'd 1) notice and 2) feel envious of your effortless style. There, right there, I'd whisper to my husband - I am always telling him that when I have the time, money and inclination I will spend a year building my final final wardrobe, with pieces I will feel happy to wear the rest of my life, and your dress looks like one of them.
Beautiful dress! I would also say think about renting for the big occasion - I have had really good experiences doing that. I know you don't get it hanging in your wardrobe for years afterwards making you feel sentimental about the occasion but equally you get amazing choice, a fitter who will subtly alter things so they work exactly for you (well I did), and a dress I wouldn't have dreamt of buying in a million years . . .
Yes, I think this is a great idea to at least investigate. Interesting that you had an adjusting fitter! - which company was this (I gather you’d heartily recommend them!)?
You looked fabulous, it’s great to know the great and the good, have those moments when we just can’t find the ‘right’ outfit, I’m always last minute too, but that paid off nicely! X
Love Love Love Love Love - the dress, the hat, the shoes, the earrings, and most importantly you and how it made you feel on such a momentous occasion.
You look completely wonderful. And thank you for the lovely story of how you arrived at the perfect choice

It’s perfect elegant and beautiful.

Congratulations on your MBE. You look stunning and how wonderful to have new memories to add to your wedding earrings
Congratulations! Well done you! What a woman!
The whole ensemble is absolute perfection. You nailed the brief. Also, blackcurrant is officially the prettiest of dark purples 🖤💜

It looks just right. Really nice hat. Hope your investiture was a incredibly special day for you and all your guests. Did they have the band?
Beautiful choice of dress and congratulations on your MBE Farrah!
I am slightly relieved that you too are a last minute person. I find a sense of urgency definitely helps with decision making!

Congratulations Farrah!
Not sure if that is the proper protocol. I'm across the pond.
You look utterly stunning, as ever x
Congratulations on your MBE! What an achievement. ✨️
Such an elegant choice of outfit 😍 ✨️
Without meaning to sound patronising - I'm so incredibly proud of you Farrah xxx
Stunning. Thank goodness you kept the shoes. Magnificent.
